No, because ABNF quoted strings denote case-insensitive matching,
whereas draft filenames are prohibited from containing upper-case
letters. So you would need something like %x64.72.61.66.74
instead of "draft", %x69.65.74.66 instead of "ietf", and comments
about the upper-case prohibition regarding author names, etc.
Also, I believe that the "=" in the first line is a typo.
With the proposed restriction of characters to lower-case letters,
digits, and hyphen, there would probably have to be additional
commentary regarding author names (some of which contain accented
letters or use non-Latin scripts), topics, and titles.
Finally, version needs to be defined, e.g.:
version = 2DIGIT ; starting with 00
